That which is observable on the surface of this world
provides artists with much raw material and inspiration.
Yet it is within the mysterious inner world, where the
creative process melds with our shared psychic yearnings,
that the metaphors which we seek to express our deepest
needs and desires find their richest form.
For me painting offers an opportunity to examine
my emotional responses to life as I experience it.
My work is based on personal narrative, but the
sub-text emerges from deep within my subconscious being.
I pay close attention to the allegories springing forth from
that swirling, twirling oracle. Transposing the songs of the
subconscious mind into colors, shapes and forms may not
replicate my inner world literally, but may
reveal in some small way the complexity and beauty of
that great spiritual place that connects us all.
